C'est la vie! I know it's such a cliche to say it, but these 2 weeks really made me think life is never ever a predictable one.
The US company job, remember I said they have chosen another translator instead of me? I thought that was the end of it, but it wasn't! It wasn't at all...
The week following the turn down, the agent contacted me and said there might be a chance for me to go with the other translator to the workshop held in US, so I said "ok, let me know if you have more details". I think it's always good to have a face-to-face contact with the people in the company, because I am confident that they would have a good impression of me and my job performance. And then I waited for a week, and I received another message from the agent...
She told me "I am sorry, it turned out that the company just needed one translator now." And then I said "ok". Honestly, I wasn't really disappointed about it, because of swine flu. So that should be the end of it, right? The answer was NO! Haha!
The next day, I received a call from the agent (it's always just email or MSN), she told me that the translator couldn't make it because her passport expired (?! right...but whatever). And so she was calling to ask me if I could go instead, it's 2 weeks later, yes, to fly to the States.
Am I excited? Not yet, I think not until everything is more settled and concrete.
But the whole thing is such a turn, right? I think when you treat something with an ordinary mind, then life will always take you by surprise. :)
